2. A tank with a capacity of 650 gal. originally contains 200 gal of water with 100 lb. of salt in
solution. Water containing 1 lb. of salt per gallon is entering at a rate of 4 gal/min, and the
mixture is allowed to flow out of the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min.
a. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time prior to the instant when the tank
begins to overflow (650 gallons).
b. Find the concentration (in pounds per gallon) of salt in the tank when the tank hits
400 gallons.
